I have to agree with Ron. Spell out CCKW and say CUC(K)-V. Where did CUT-V
ever come from? I think, at some point in time, someone misunderstood CUCK-V
for CUT-V. If I say them both out loud, I can see (well, hear really) the
confusion, but it still doesn't seem right, when the acronym has no "T" in
it.
